Pineapple Works has announced Oddventure, an RPG inspired by games like EarthBound and Undertale. The game will be coming to Switch and PC next year and is being developed by Infamous Rabbit, who have described the game as a “lore-rich turn-based crazy JRPG set in a cursed fairytale world.” The game may have a Q3 2022 release window, but there will also be a Kickstarter going live next month to help support the game’s development.
Oddventure is a JRPG where you play as Charlie – a nihilistic and rebellious teenage girl with anger issues and social awkwardness. Your search for troublesome younger brother Bonzo is also looking for a way back home. The setting for Charlie’s misadventures is the Kingdom of Luxia, a land taken straight out of original Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales with a dark, Nietzschean twist.
? Meaningful choices – EVERY decision matters, sometimes in the most unpredictable ways.
? The friendly JRPG where nobody has to die… but can. In a horrible way.
? Countless hidden secrets reference to pop culture and fairy tales.
? Bitter-sweet comedy mixed with some coziness and dark humor.
? A life-changing gaming experience.
There is a free demo of the game on Steam currently available if you are interested.
